A human hero must travel back in time using a 'Miraculous Time Bender' to rescue his parents who are marooned on the Fire Planet. After crossing the Milky Way using a Miraculous Time Bender the Starbird arrives in the Western Hemisphere. Extreme turbulence nearly disintegrates Yarthgo's ship as it makes a perilous descent through a burning atmosphere above the Fire Planet. Yarthgo finds Mikal and Nakita Barcel barely alive and meets a vaporized scientist named Dr. Hector Bensun who communicates through a machine he has invented called the Servo Matrix. Yarthgo and his parents accompanied by Dr. Bensun transport to the Starbird. The ship accelerates away from the melting Fire Planet, which is entering a worm hole. Upon their return to Astral East the Time Bender overheats. The Starbird has to be flown manually as Karnak, a Krieas bounty hunter sent to kill Yarthgo challenges him to aerial combat. Starbird out flies the Wasp saucer with breathtaking maneuvers. Karnak's ship crashes into the ocean hitting a gas pocket and explodes.
